While this is true, it's not necessarily what people what when they say they want more fat and body positive characters.

Because in the show you're describing the fact that the characters are fat is really, really important - its central the them meeting.

A lot of us want a show where fat people get to do all the stuff that skinny people do without their weight being a big deal.

Well, sure, that's a fair thing to want, and that's not something Huge does.

(Not that the angle it does take is inherently bad, though, any more than something like But I'm A Cheerleader is bad queer representation because the main characters meet by virtue of being queer.)

What I take issue with is the AIRT's complaint that a show where the characters' weights are a major plot point can't address lots of different issues or feature relatable characters.
